Abstract: Methods and systems for processing requests with load-dependent throttling. The system compares a count of active job requests being currently processed for a user associated with a new job request with an active job cap number for that user. When the count of active job requests being currently processed for that user does not exceed the active job cap number specific to that user, the job request is added to an active job queue for processing. However, when the count of active job requests being currently processed for that user exceeds the active job cap number, the job request is placed on a throttled queue to await later processing when an updated count of active job requests being currently processed for that user is below the active job cap number. Once the count is below the cap, the throttle request is moved to the active job queue for processing.

Abstract: When a person visits a physical retail store, the merchant often does not have enough information about the person to make meaningful product recommendations. Also, a physical retail store typically has products physically distributed throughout the store. It may be desirable to have some sort of relationship between where the customer is and the location of the product being recommended. In some embodiments, when a person visits the store, a computer determines an identity of the person and generates a product recommendation based on user-specific information for that person. In some embodiments, generating the product recommendation includes detecting that a field of view of a camera of the device has changed, and in response determining a plurality of products within or proximate to a current field of view of the camera. At least one of the plurality of products is then identified as the recommended product.

Abstract: Methods and systems for multi-point token-based access control to online resources using a single wallet verification. A system, such as an e-commerce platform, receives a wallet address and digital signature from a user device during a user session, and obtains ownership data from a blockchain network with regard to the wallet address. Based on token ownership, the system determines whether the wallet address satisfies a token-based access condition. The system then detects a second access control event at a subsequent phase of the user session and, in response, obtains current ownership data from the blockchain network to determine whether a second token-based condition is satisfied before permitting a requested transaction in the subsequent phase.

Abstract: Methods and systems for access control to online resources based on non-fungible token gating. A request from a user device may trigger an access control rule having a token-based condition. The system verifies satisfaction of the token-based condition based on a wallet address provided by the user device and blockchain data obtained from a first blockchain network confirming that a non-fungible token meeting the token-based condition is associated with the wallet address. It then obtains data associated with a second blockchain network based on the non-fungible token and, in response, determines, based on the data associated with the second blockchain network, that the non-fungible token is not exhausted due to previous use of the non-fungible token. The system then processes the request from the user device and causes minting of a token on the second blockchain recording usage of the non-fungible token in an access control operation.
